They don't make videos like that any more…
The other day in the car we were listening to the radio and Gary Moore's Over the Hills and Far Away came on. I never heard it before and was amazed by its seemingly unnecessary epic-ness. So I knew the video of that time had to be a gem. And boy, does it deliver. It is so 80s, it shits Rubik's cubes:
* Epic Hairdos
* Obvious sound/TV stage with fake moor fog
* Starts with a fair haired child getting an old timey story told to
* Medieval stuff and big heavy shirts open to the navel
* Massive gurning straight into the camera
My fave is the organ player dude. He's just living the life.

Is this a lost episode of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace?
Because it certainly looks like one.

And that's the short version of the song
The full live version has 100% more epic mightyness, though less dodgy acting.
